Coppell High School’s Engineering Booster Club welcomed students, parents and community members on Sept. 26 for an afternoon gathering in the school’s newly opened engineering space.

For many parents, it was their first opportunity to see the new facility and learn more about what Coppell’s engineering students are doing throughout the year.

The reaction from families was especially exciting. Many parents said they had not realized Coppell High School had such an impressive space dedicated to engineering. Several commented on the quality of the classrooms and equipment, with some even comparing the facility to what they might expect to see at a private school.

The new space gives Coppell’s engineering students more room to design, build, collaborate and prepare for competitions. With students participating in programs such as Technology Student Association (TSA) and Robotics, having adequate space is an important part of giving them opportunities to put what they learn in the classroom into practice.

The Engineering Booster Club appreciates Coppell ISD’s investment in providing a space where these programs can continue to grow.

Bringing Parents, Teachers and Students Together

The Sept. 26 event was also an opportunity for families to meet the teachers and learn more about the engineering program.

Mr. Garner, Mr. Brown and Mr. Price spent the afternoon visiting with parents and giving tours of the new space. Families were able to see where students work on projects, prepare for competitions and turn their ideas into something they can actually build and test.

Students were an important part of the afternoon as well. TSA student leaders shared their own experiences with parents and younger students, including freshmen who are just beginning to discover the opportunities available through Coppell Engineering.

Having students talk about their experiences gave families a chance to hear directly from those who participate in the program and learn more about what TSA, Robotics and other engineering activities can offer.

Most importantly, the afternoon brought together students, teachers, parents and community members who share an interest in supporting Coppell’s engineering programs.

Supporting Coppell Engineering

The Engineering Booster Club works alongside teachers and families to support Coppell High School’s Engineering, TSA and Robotics programs.

This year, the Booster Club hopes to raise $6,000–$8,000 to help provide additional resources and opportunities for students. Support from parents, local businesses, sponsors and the Coppell community play an important role in helping the club reach that goal.

The Booster Club is grateful to everyone who attended the event and to the parents, volunteers and sponsors who continue to support Coppell Engineering.

We are excited to see the new engineering space filled with students and look forward to seeing what they will design, build and accomplish this year.
